NB Keslar – 54ft Cruiser Stern (2003)

Boat Safety Certificate valid until September 2027

A Well-Engineered Cruiser Stern Narrowboat

Keslar is a well-presented 54ft cruiser stern narrowboat built in 2003. She has been engineered to a high standard throughout and offers an excellent opportunity for someone looking for a comfortable liveaboard or leisure boat with all of the major structural work already completed.

A transferable hull survey is available for inspection, confirming the condition of the hull and giving prospective buyers added confidence.

The exterior has recently been refreshed, with the roof taken back to bare metal before being professionally repainted. Internally, Keslar would benefit from some basic cosmetic DIY, mainly repainting, allowing the new owner to add their own personal touch without the need for major work.

The electrical installation provides both 12-volt and 240-volt systems, making the boat well equipped for comfortable cruising or residential use.
